I recently updated my USA Xperia TL to the new 4.3 (.295). I used the central european Bond edition. I didn't have any problems, except for what seemed like unnecessary battery drain throughout the day. I updated to the .199 version (the Belgium version on this site), and my battery life improved during the day. HOWEVER, I have woken up both days since the update with a dead phone, almost missing work. Both nights, there was at least 50% battery left when I went to sleep, and it was dead 7 hours later. The system says that the Android OS was responsible for 54% of the battery drain, but it is much less than that during the day. Is there a setting that needs changed, or is this a problem inherent to the update?
Thanks
Did you flash US baseband or are you using 3G (HSPA+) only? I'm experiencing the same problem and the only fix for the battery life so far has been a Tasker script to turn off mobile data while the screen is off. It seems to me that Stamina mode doesn't work with our radios.
I have V. But I still would like to report I had never a high night-time draw as with 4.3, .199.
Here is my night time draw with 4.2.2.
My phone is draining very fast after installing the 23.0.1.a.5.77 update, was so happy with the good battery life i had before. Now its like all the other smartphones i had in the past

Hi benjih!
I double that. Before update I had about 1 d 10h on a full battery charge without Stamina, etc. Since update full battery charge lasts for only 20-21 h. Seems like a significant drop.
Anybody else having the same issue after update to 23.0.1.a.5.77?
First charge cycle after updating didn't last as long as usual, but now back to normal. 50 hours on current charge with 4 hours screen on and 22% remaining.
Don't know why but when you flash your phone with new firmware or update the firmware the battery needs a few charges to stabilise.This is a known fact and happens in most cases that's why many people are stating bad battery life after a update but back to normal after a while relax guys.
I just updated my VIE-L09C432B103 to version B161 without any problems. Thanks a lot to acer73 for collecting the firmware at this point!! After the update I recognise a significant improvement in battery life. I used to have a very high consumption by the android-system process (about 1200 mAh in a day of normal use). Did someone experience something similar or was there just something corrupted on my phone?
Others had the same problem with the Standard P9
Hello!
I've been experiencing worse battery life on my Nokia 8 since Pie upgrade, I haven't installed any apps nor services...
Note that the battery improved -but not as good as Oreo- after calibration using an app...
Are you experiencing the sane issue? Or should I further investigate?
Thank you..
yes
Same here. I got 12 hours screen on time once on oreo but now, it is a dream. Battery drains fastly due to background services. App restriction doesn't work as well as oreo's restriction. So, this situation causes battery draining. Also there is a weird thing i've faced, battery drains quickly from %100 to %95. I am waiting for Maintenance Release impatiently.
is battery life on oreo really that good?
I'm using pie since day 1 and never got more than 7h sot and 1.5 days.
My battery life is dire since pie, I was impressed with the battery in the 8 until this update, I cant even make a day without having to charge. When I say day I mean from 7am to 10pm as its left charging overnight.
Before pie I could quite happily last 2 days between charges, I'm not a heavy user, initially I thought I must be using the phone more. But I'm actually using it less just so it makes it to the end of the day!
Somehow it's worse again today, dead by 4:30!
Basically just checked phone to see the time, around 10 minutes of faffing in the morning, rebooted it before charging last night incase sonething was using battery. Madness!
For me, I've given my phone a factory reset before I installed the Beta labs/initial final(V5.110, December 2018-January 2019) build. Despite that, I did notice my battery life taking a hit when running this iteration of Pie. I was at most getting not more than 5 hours of SoT on average. And I do use my phone a lot throughout the day, the camera, web browsing, videos and social media. Meanwhile on Oreo, I can get 6 hours on average no problem. Sometimes even 7 hours if I'm lucky.
After updating to V5.140(February 2019) with Adaptive Battery brought in, I seem to have gotten back my average SoC just like when my phone was running Oreo. Running 5-6 hours on average. I'm not sure if Adaptive Battery has anything to do with this since I did notice the improvement immediately. I also disabled some of the Evenwell crap before updating to V5.140, so that may or may not have an effect.
If apps restricted didnt work then try manually restrict each app go to ur up hold it then info Then choose battery from there change background restriction
Ifaced this problem in beta when iwas sleep and wake up morning my battery was almost below 20 percent but i manually restrict all apps and its working 100 percent ?
Sorry to heat that. Have you tried installing some apps like better battery stats to see what exactly is saying up your battery? If your phone is rooted consider installing ForceDoze from f-droid and maybe WakeBlock to regulate some wakelocks that may be the cause of your terrible battery life. I have been able to get great battery life using the latest put version. See screenshot below from a few days ago.
I know that this is old thread but i have solution which i use with my nokia. change default launcher to another lightweight. This works and my battery feel better.
I should of updated, battery went back to normal after newer updates.
However, biggest thing for me, using DNS666 Ad blocker has seemingly doubled my battery life, might be a combination of just gotten bored of the phone or blocking all the ad's saves battery, or a bit of both, its also made the phone feel a lot more responsive overall, i'm using Squarehome as my launcher so maybe that was affecting the battery before?
Maybe which update can fix battery life? I rooted my phone and can't download latest update.
Hi,
For a few days Cell standby has been using quite a lot of battery even though. It started when I got VoLTE and VoWIFI, but I turned them off because of the high battery usage from cell standby. No change, it's still high (around 20% in a day).
Also when I check for updates, it says "no updates available", even though a week ago I had some notifications regarding a system update, but when I tapped there was no update. I'm on 11.5.1.0 global version.
Does anyone have any idea? It's such a waste to have a big battery and to get only 3 hours screen on time all day long.
Thanks!
